My great grandma made it with all kinds of scraps,biscuits, donuts, white bread,raisins and she cooked her custard before pouring it over the bread, when done she put a light caramel sauce to spoon over it. This brought back memt. My kids wouldn't eat it so never tried to make them, especially when l sad bread pudding. I was born in Alabama. You ate whatever was cooked and you appreciated it. Kids today missed out on a lot. I hope you enjoy it.😊

❤ P.S. my friend, who is a Public Health Inspector, and I love that you are the only one who cares and educates your audience to wash all can foods before opening the can. 😊 However, he makes everyone remove the labels, too, before soaping & thoroughly washing the entire can. He says nasty things can hide under the label. 😮🙃💕

Ms. Donna you did a beautiful job.Thats exactly what bread pudding looks like. My oldest cousin who is 100 years young still baking the most delicious bread pudding. She said your bread pudding looks good:😋job well done👏🏾Blessings to you❤

Her husband is so funny. He ‘nose’ when the food is ready. He magically appears.

That’s exactly what the texture supposed to be.. moist on the inside and “custardy”. Looks soooo good❤

You did a great job making the bread pudding Miss Donna. It was so wonderful and sweet that you made this at the request of one of your viewer's in honor of his deceased mother. 💗

One of the best things about Bread Pudding is that you can take the basic idea and make it to your own taste.

Lol y'all's reactions are so hilarious and innocent! We love bread pudding in the south and you have it spot on!! The texture looks on point!!

My Grandmother aka (Big Mama) made her various Bread Puddings with biscuits, donuts, cinnamon rolls, yeast bread rolls, she cooked her custard from scratch she also made a caramel sauce she also added walnuts and pecans at times. Everytime she made Bread Pudding you can taste the various flavors and she along with her grandchildren churned the butter 🧈 as well, precious memories!

Yes, it’s supposed to be soft and moist in the inside. It looks good!

This is exactly what bread pudding looks like. You did a great job

Love bread pudding. Everyone has their special touch when it comes to bread pudding. Texture soft and moist. You did it, Sisstar!

Your bread pudding looks perfect! It’s hard to believe your have never had it before! Great job - I’m sure Taha is very happy

I can't imagine not having had bread pudding! I absolutely love it! The texture is usually soft or mushy. You did a jam up job.

It's perfect! You did it! To God be all the glory! Blessings !

I absolutely love that you are very clean with your cooking and that you don’t have an animal in your house or kitchen while you are cooking. Thank you again for that.

Hey Y'all. You've been missing out. I make Bread Pudding all the time. I don't put the nuts or the Apple filling. It is still delicious. The way it looks is how it is supposed to look even without the vanilla cream on top. I'm from the St. Louis area. Whenever I make it, those that taste it really, really like it and want me to fix it over and over. It'll grow on you.

Yes Donna! Looks like my grandmas minus the nuts. The apples is new to me too. Grandma just did raisins. Good job!❤

I pretty much had the same reaction my first time eating it in my 20’s at a random restaurant and it was so good that I went back a week later for more it’s so cool that you were able to make this at home ❤

Add a scoop of vanilla icecream on top. Yummo!

My grandmother showed me how to make it back in the 60's, and I use to make it at KIng's Tavern, place I use to work at, for tourist. Made a whiskey sauce to pour over it too. Delicious.

Oh my I haven't had this in years. Looks delicious 😋 and Hubby's reaction is priceles😊

Hello There Precious Child!! As a Sister in Christ,i came across you by accident, however it was Orchestrated by our FATHER, as i needed something real,as you!!! You are a Breath of fresh air!! Thank you for having your channel.i am BLESSED!!! I do make bread pudding(old school) you did well!!! Good night!!😉🙏

Texture looks perfect. I'm from the North Carolina mountains....we called it cold bread pudding. Mama used left over biscuits. I never had it with the pie filling, but it sounds good. I use both colors raisins. That was our staple Sunday dessert. Love your videos.❤

I think it looks perfect and yes it's supposed to be a little "mushy". Bread pudding is definitely an old school southern dish. When you grew up with it on the table at every potluck it's hard to believe everyone in the world doesn't grow up eating it too.

I have had bread pudding in Louisiana and they had a rum sauce over it but the pudding itself was firm. It was delicious.

Bread pudding with brioche bread is the BUSINESS!!!! I've offered my brioche bread pudding to people who have said. "I don't eat bread pudding," only for them to taste it, finish it right in front of me, and ask to take some home 😄 The brioche bread is DEFINITELY the game changer with the one. Great job!

This looks delicious. I make bread pudding all the time and there are so many ways to make it. You did an excellent job for the first time.

I'm from Louisiana and we make bread pudding quite often using fruits, or chocolates. Sauce is also made to put over the top of the baked pudding. The texture is like a heavy pudding.

M’s. Donna that looks absolutely perfect! My great aunt was a baker and would make this and taught me. I’ve made a regular one with a rum sauce and a chocolate one but I’m gonna try this one with the apples and vanilla sauce and use the brioche bread. It looks so tasty and the texture is spot on. Thanks for trying and sharing. You’ve made all of our ancestors who made this proud. 😊

My mom used to make us bread pudding back in the 50's & 60's. Seems like i just remember raisins not nuts or apples but they sound delicious. But she would always serve it in little glass dessert bowls that made it look so appetizing as well. She had a custard sauce on top too. The texture was not like cake, so i suggest DO NOT BAKE LONGER, i think you got the right texture. Good for you. Trying something you never even had. It looks great.

Never thought of that easy way to grease a pan. Thanks. My husband loves bread pudding

It's so good to see you expand your baking skills Donna, there's so much to explore 😊

Donna the bread pudding texture looks right My mom made it all the time with Loaf bread I can taste it now .My mom was a excellent old fashion cook. Thanks for sharing it brought back memories.

It looks spot on. The way you are describing it, it sounds exactly like it's supposed to taste. Like a cakey custard with a sweet sauce on top. ❤

I’m 80 years old, from Alabama too, and my Mom use to make bread pudding quiet often. We loved it, she always used white bread because that’s the kind of bread she made sandwiches with for my Dad and my sister and I for lunch for his work and our school. I don’t believe bread had as many preservatives put in back then and it would go stale quicker than it does now. So, as it was not as fresh as you would want for sandwiches she would use the stale bread for making pudding. I actually never watched her make the pudding and bake it but I believe she probably made it pretty much as you made yours but with just white bread and raisins usually dark raisins and no apples. The other difference is she would spoon it into dishes for desert either warm after she cooked it or room temperature or cold from the refrigerator. She would then top off the individual servings with a very rich custard made from egg yokes, milk, sugar and vanilla extract, but careful to never bring the custard to a boil and it thicken naturally with out corn starch for a thickener. She used the custard hot after making it or cold after refrigerating it so it would keep. Hope this helps you and your husband understand the nature of bread pudding. I am also pretty sure it wasn’t an Alabama thing or even a southern thing but may have been the times we lived when people made use of what they had on hand and not letting something go to waste. My Mama also made rice pudding also using raisins, sugar, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Some people used what was called a whiskey sauce for the rice pudding.

I Love Bread Pudding, yes it can be made many different ways. It's supposed to be soft and mushy,because it's bread. It came out good!!! ❤

I’ve never added fruit or a sauce to bread pudding, but will definitely try both. The texture is supposed to be soft when it is done, not dry like cake or squishy like pudding - if that helps you. I typically make it when I have leftover bread or rolls from an event. You can mix the breads too. Anything goes when it comes to bread pudding.

The bread pudding has a beautiful presentation. I'm a country boy from Louisiana that was raised eating bread pudding that my mother made all the time. You did a great job.

Hi. My mother and grandmother were from Southampton County, Virginia. Every day my grandmother made biscuits from scratch. WELL REHEARSE WITH BREAD PUDDING. NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MUSHY. BAKE TILL FIRM. Remember that you are pouring the sauce over. Which is why you can cook till dry. Once I pour sauce over it I tend to place it in the oven for about 5 minutes. Then allow to and then enjoy. You did a good job.

Thanks Mrs Donna for blessing this young man by baking a dish he holds near and dear to his ❤️! It looks so good!! I will definitely be trying this recipe!! May substitute the apples for blueberries 😋! God bless you and your beautiful family!! 🙏

I’m SURE you did his Grand Mama well. My Mother use to make bread pudding as well, she would “collect” the breads, cake etc in preparation for it. She used peaches & raisins. I was never a huge fan of it but I would always sample it. Mom’s been in Heaven for 31 years (Easter Sunday). My cousins always ask about her recipe. You’ve inspired me to want to make it again. I haven’t done that in YEARS! Thank you. You’re amazing Sis, and your hubby’s reaction was PRICELESS! 🍞💛👏🏾

I appreciate how you really clean your cans and containers out thoroughly when adding them to the recipe. It always drives me crazy to see a bunch of product left in the cans!

I’ve never had bread pudding or made it either, but Ms Donna dude number 1 gone enjoy that, it looks Delicious 😋

Oooh Mrs Donna I been wanting a good bread pudding recipe, I’m so excited!!!!!! Can’t wait to try. I love bread pudding. It looks right to me Mrs Donna .

😂 your husband makes me laugh and that bread pudding looks delicious and fantastic thank you for sharing 😊

Your bread pudding looks good. My grandma and mom didn’t use apple filling, golden raisins, lemon flavor, and no nuts. We didn’t use and sauces because the bread pudding was creamy and sweet enough. They used white bread and all the other ingredients. I might try this to see how it taste. I like using Brioche Bread in my oven French Toast. Never thought to use it for bread pudding. This dish was a staple for southern families. Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate you having the sign about washing your hands and cleaning off cans. ❤

Your bread pudding was beautiful. Nicely browned on the top and custardy like french toast on the inside. I like the addition of the apple pie filling. I do have one suggestion, and this is the home economist in me, use dry measures for your dry ingredients as that makes measuring more accurate. Looking forward to more episodes.

I bake bread puddin often,I use coffee creamer in mine. I do peach praline w/pecans and a carmel sauce. It should have a little jiggle to it and it will firm a little while cooling. You can make any kinda any of bread puddin, raisins, cranberries etc. We love it, Blessings Pastor and Lady Donna🙏❤️

I can taste it, without tasting it! It's delicious! !💖💖💖

My mother loved bread pudding. She tossed all of the dry ingredients (bread, nuts, raisins or cranberries, or cut up fruit sometimes) together with some of the spices (she used cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice). She never heated the milk and would put the spices into the custard with the sugar with lots of vanilla and sometimes rum. She made a really tasty rum sauce for her bread pudding. We always let the bread pudding cool completely before we ate it.

Adding some drained fruit cocktail is absolutely delicious in bread pudding as well as regular raisins, my mom made bread pudding for us all the time and it was delicious!!!

I made it Lady Donna and it was delicious. I had one but it didn't include some of those ingredients. I just enjoy you and Pastor! You got me cooking/baking pound cakes

Hey Ms Donna my mother made bread pudding all the time left over biscuits ,you did an awesome job it looks so delicious

Your home must have been the talk of the closest neighbors around you!!! I can only imagine the aroma!

You can’t help it but to love this women! She is so sweet! She so sweet to try these recipe that people are giving her to try! I love it here!

I love bread pudding. I made it pretty often. It is not low-carb friendly, but it is delicious and truly a comfort food 😋

Hey Errbody, This is one of my Daddy’s favorite desserts. He is in heaven now. I’m going to try and make this. I just wish I had this recipe when he was here with me.But I will make one for my daddy!! Until next time! Peace and Love Sis ❤️Smooches 💜

When I was younger, I used to make large pans of bread pudding from my mother's recipe for our church meals after first-Sunday services or special occasions, and the puddings were always a hit. The women servers used to scramble to set aside pieces of my pudding for themselves. I never used apple pie filling in mine, but I always baked one pan with raisins and another either plain or with pineapples mixed in. I might have to try it with the apples just to see if it tastes better than it sounds. For bread pudding, the plainer it is, the more I like it. Thanks, Donna, for stirring up old memories.

my mom made bread pudding since we were kids, the texture is probably correct it's just different. a little wet/soft/mushy, but as long as your toothpick comes out clean you def. don't want it dry. so many good variations.

Your bread pudding looks delicious. My mom and grandma used to make them and I used to make, but I haven't made any since my husband passed. He loved them . Enjoy 😊❤

You got it right Donna, it looks delicious.

Hon, this was originally made of old Bread and bits and pieces of fruit when farm families had plenty of milk and eggs and butter. It made a large desert to feed a big family. All the bread was homemade so it dried out fast. My mamaw made it using left over cornbread, biscuits or bread. Sometimes all of it together. Every time it had a different texture depending on the bread or fruits used. It was a way to use up scraps and not waste anything and create a treat for hard working people. That was the original intent now they have exact recipes..so you really can't make it wrong. I enjoyed watching you cook.. May God Bless and keep you and yours.

I love bread pudding! I enjoy your husband's reaction to this "new" dish! The texture of your bread pudding is spot on. I've never added apples to mine. And I usually top with powdered sugar, milk, vanilla mixture (like a runny glaze frosting). Makes me smile that you and husband have never had bread pudding before.

That's the right texture, great job Mrs Donna🥰 we always eat bread pudding in our family!!!!!

My mom used to make bread pudding, but she used regular white bread and would put pineapple chunks and raisin in hers. She would make a vanilla and, sometimes, RUM sauce. It was so good, and I have yet to find bread pudding like hers. One day, I'm going to try making her pudding. I'm also going to try your version with pineapple chunks instead of apples. I remember you saying in one of your cake videos that you and some of your family members don't care for pineapples. Only your dude number 2 really like them.

What a gem this is, you two discovering bread pudding! I just had you come on my feed and boy am I enjoying you two! Looks to me like you nailed it. As long as the egg is cooked through and it's not dry...But this recipe is also a real honor for that person to ask you to make it. I'll be checking in, and also sharing recipes! Thanks guys, for keeping it real!

You got it right. It is suppose to be moist. I make it all the time. It is requested at church. It is a dessert that most people don't make anymore. My aunt made it with lemon sauce. Yum !

Hi Donna! You are right on point. It is just as it should be. Some people prefer not too moist. That is their preference. The way you made it was perfect. I’ve been baking for over 40 years, so I know a little something 😊 great job!

I actually made some last week. So good😋yes, it looks great even the texture. It's suppose to be a lil spongy like a pudding, but with bread in it❤

I love bread pudding, and rice pudding. Dark raisins are sweeter. 💯💯💯💯👍👍👍

Yes, that's the way it's supposed to taste/look like.😋

Yes Donna you did a great job. Some of my siblings didn't like the crust of the bread and my mom toasted and put that into that day pudding as well 😊

Donna, that looks delicious! I’ve made bread pudding 🍞several times, but not with apples.🍏 I will definitely try this recipe. Thanks for sharing❣️💚

One of the chefs at a hospital I worked at made bread pudding with wheat rolls & raisins with a slightly tart lemon sauce & it sold out quickly. It was crazy delicious. Your recipe sounds good. I can hardly wait to try it. I love your channel.

I love hearing the stories about cooking and your parents. Such memories are made in the kitchen.❤

Yes, that texture looks perfect! Great job 👏🏾

Wow! I love bread pudding, I’ve made it with rum or cognac, along with raisins and caramel. I’ve never tried any fruit in it before. I see I might have to try this! Especially since you all really enjoyed it!❤

The bread pudding is the correct texture it's supposed to be firm but soft , you've done his Grandma proud,I grew up eating bread pudding.❤️👍🏽👍🏽

So glad this young man shared this recipe for all of us to see! My mother used to make bread pudding because my dad loved it, as did I! No apples were included but it actually sounds great with the apples. Looks yummy to me. Just found you and will check out more of your recipes! You give great explanations with logical tips for those who aren't as experienced in the kitchen.

Exactly how it should look! Usually it’s just bread, raisins, the pudding, and sauce; but, the apples looked great. Also, loved your choice of raisins instead of the regular ones. Amazing job! 😇🙏🙏🙏💚

That bread pudding looks delicious! I am glad you and your husband enjoyed it. I have eaten bread pudding several times and my family loves it, so I am thankful to know how to make it now. I have never had it with a fruit filling, but I look forward to trying this recipe. Continue to be great!

Girl I love bread pudding and that looks sooo good!!!😋 I would tear it up!! Yum yum yummy!!! Great job.❤

Its so refreshing to see you work in the kitchen like how normal people at home do. So many cooking and baking shows never scrape the bowl clean with a spatula like I would and it drives me crazy!😂 And cleaning as you go...I love it! I love your colorful mixing bowl and knife, your starburst light fixture, your dancing husband 😂😂😂. As a frequent baker I sure knew you needed more spice from the get go and that mixture was so thin, I knew it was going to be in the oven longer than 45 minutes. It has more to do with the texture of the mix than ones oven for sure😉 That topping was spot on. Nice work! Looks delicious!❤

I make bread pudding all of the time but haven't done so with any type of filling. First time seeing fruit other than rasins used. It looks delicious and will have to give this a try. Always learning something from you. 🙂 The brioche bread is indeed the best for bread pudding. Biscuits or donuts are also good. It is supposed to be a little soft just not totally soggy. You can use a little less custard if you like it a bit more firm. But that looks good to me. Good job Ms. Donna! Thanks for the recipe.

Donna, that bread pudding is on point ❤

Just got done making it and I’m going to eat it. It smells delicious. It reminds me of my grandma’s house when she was baking. Thank you.

My great aunt and my grandma used to make bread pudding it is supposed to be a little more mushy inside and no raisins no apples no sauce the rest of the ingredients right on and kids loved it especially when you come from a big family its feeling after you eat your dinner you did a good job I'm proud of you if I could put my hand through the screen and get me some I would LOL

Looks delicious! I make it with cinnamon and raisins. Mother’s Restaurant in New Orleans makes it with fruit cocktail and a rum sauce I think. It is really good. I want to try a rice pudding.

It looks good Donna! I have never had bread pudding either. It looks like cinnamon rolls. You really have talent in cooking skills! ❤️

Enjoy watching you cook!! It’s a joyous event when we come together with family and friends, and commune with some good food to feed the body and the soul! Heck, even strangers converge with good food. Sure wish I could have your company in my kitchen. Big hugs and much love to you! God bless you!

I've made bread pudding for years. However, I never added apples nor raisins. I would think that if I were adding fruit, that I wouldn't need as much milk in the mixture. My recipe calls for 4 cups of milk and the rest of the basic ingredients are the same. I found that if I go heavy on the cinnamon, it tastes like homemade cinnamon rolls. Mix and pour the milk mixture...no cooking prior to baking. Bread Pudding should be the texture of a moist bread, not at all like pudding. I generally use texas toast. I toast each piece, butter it, and cut it into 1" squares before pouring the milk mixture. Simple to make and so filling! Great on a fall/winter morning. My grandma made the best breakfast and always had bread pudding. She was amazing! So glad I found this video and a cooking channel I'd enjoy following. I'll be making it with a few new ingredients next time..❤ Thank you!

So sweet of you to make this Miss Donna. It looks delicious!!!! Good job, as usual, Ladybug.

All the bread pudding I have eaten over the years has been soft inside, you did an excellent job. And it looks beautiful and well done. If it’s not soft inside, then it’s a cinnamon bun(haha)

❤Oh my that looks AMAZING...I have made it and you did it to perfection...yes mushy soft custardy yesssss you did it just right.Thank you Grandmama BRIGHTEST BLESSINGS 💖

Bread pudding is moist on the inside. Crunchy on top with sauce on top. No apples and no nuts. But the variations sounds great. I love bread pudding.❤️

I made it a while ago with leftover croissants from Costco, pineapple, pineapple extract, and coconut milk (the kind in the refrigerator section of the grocery store in a carton). I made a rum sauce to top it. It was heavenly! You made it the right way! Many restaurants serve it waaaay too dry.

Hey Mrs Donna I love bread pudding. I love y’all family. ❤❤❤

I love bread pudding, I am from Alabama also an she used whatever bread was left over biscuits, lite bread,cornbread so good. Takes me back to my childhood

The texture is not much different than French toast casserole. Looks perfect!
